Sheriff Linden, of Grant county,
brought would-be Jessie James
kiud OF young man to Morris on
Monday for safe keeping. While try
Ing to beat his way, the young fellow
had been pat eff the day passenger
train of the Saturday before, near
Norcross. This angered him and he
turned and fired at Conductor Pen
mock as the train moved on, barely
missing him. The young fellows
name is Rodgers and it is thought
that highly colored literature Is re-
sponsible for some OF his pecuiiarltles.

Last Saturday morning when people
got down town, most of them were
surprised to find the building occu-
pied by Hancock & Stebbins empty.
It looked rs though the whole store
had disappeared between two days,
but after looking about a moment the
stock of groceries was found in the
Central House corner, more attractive
than ever. This corner has been
leased, We understand, by Hancock
& Stebbins for term of years and In
it they find they can display their
stock of staple and fancy groceries to
much better advantage than in their
former location. This corner store is
roomy and well lighted and Hancock
& Stebbins Will soon give it very
fine appearance. They will con-
siderably increase their grocery stock |
and will add an assortment of crock |
cry. Give 1.-The boys" call at their |
new location and see what they have
to offer.
